Oxidation and Reduction

This is different from the redox we knew from general chemistry. It's not so much about highlighting electron transfer as it is about the number of bonds to oxygen that an atom possesses. An oxidation increases a carbon's bonds to oxygen, a reduction reduces a carbon's bonds to oxygen. Makes sense, no? Let's look at some common oxidizing and reducing agents while we're at it.Watch the whole Organic Chemistry playlist: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveOrgChemGeneral Chemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveGenChemBiochemistry Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveBiochemBiology Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveBioClassical Physics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDavePhysics1Modern Physics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDavePhysics2Mathematics Tutorials: http://bit.ly/ProfDaveMathEMAIL► [email protected]► http://patreon.com/ProfessorDaveExplainsCheck out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!Amazon: https://amzn.to/2HtNpVHBookshop: https://bit.ly/39cKADMBarnes and Noble: https://bit.ly/3pUjmrn Book Depository: http://bit.ly/3aOVDlT Learn more about your ad choices.
